Foreword

All praise is for Allah. We praise Him and seek His help and forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of ourselves and the wickedness of our own deeds. Whomever Allah guides, cannot be lead astray and whomever Allah misguides, none can guide him. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone without associate, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and messenger. Allah praise him and send peace upon him, his household and his companions and all those who follow them in righteousness till the Day of Reckoning.

The following pages are a selection from my book entitled: « al-dhikr wa al-du^câ’ wa al-^cilâj bi al-ruqâ mina al-Kitâb wa al-Sunna ».

and therefore the section compiled on rememberance and supplication has been abridged and compiled into this convenient pocket-size form. Indeed the text has also been summarized and accordingly I have limited myself to citing but a few of the sources contained in the original work. Thus, all those wishing further information regarding a particular narration, should refer to the original.

I ask Allah the Most Glorified, invoking His most beautiful names and His most sublime attributes, that He grant this endeavor sincerity, and make it beneficial for me in this life as well as the next. Furthermore, may all who read it find benefit, as well as those who print it or in some way serve to publicize it. Indeed Allah is able to actualize that and is patron to such. O Allah, send prayers upon the Prophet Muhammad, his household, and his companions and all those who follow them in righteousness till the Day of Reckoning.
